The Falcons erased a 28-14 halftime lead and pulled to within 4 points of the rival Saints late in the fourth quarter. But Atlanta's plucky performance, highlighted by Michael Turner's 151 rushing yards, fell just shy of victory while New Orleans remained undefeated and in control of the NFC South.
